โฆ Synopsis
A series of alcohols, aliphatic and aromatic, was oxidized with xenon trioxide.
Oxidation to carbon dioxide and water was effected by adding a known excess of xenon trioxide to the reaction mixture. T h e excess reagent was determined iodometrically. Of the alcohols tested only triphenylcarbinol resisted oxidation. Essentially quantitative recoveries were obtained for ethanol, normal, secondary, and tertiary butyl alcohols, benzyl alcohol, benzohydrol, and cinnamyl alcohol.

Benzyl alcohol is oxidized by xenon trioxide in acidic or neutral solution to benzaldehyde and benzoic acid. T h e course of the reaction was followed by gas chromatography. Thin-layer chromatography was used to identify the products of oxidation.
A gas chromatographic method has been developed for the determination of caffeine in plasma. A standard response curve relating signal-height ratios of caffeine to hexobarbital permits a quantitative estimation of the amount of caffeine present. The method is more rapid and sensitive than any previo
